    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To demonstrate the use of Nd:YAG laser in clearing the anterior surface of posterior chamber intraocular lenses. METHOD: Six cases are presented with the following conditions: haemorrhage, inflammatory deposits, a fibrinous papillary membrane, capsulorhexis shrinkage. RESULTS: Nd:YAG laser was successful in managing each of these cases. CONCLUSION: With careful use Nd:YAG laser clearance of the anterior surface of a posterior chamber intraocular lens can be carried out successfully without damaging the lens.
